Follow-up for the ill-fated trajectory of toolshed/organising#657 (ending over in #691 (comment)).

abra app ls is not very useful when you start to have a lot of apps in the wild. Some fedi members have 400+ apps 🙈 The sequential table listing doesn't really give much insights then. Does anyone have any ideas for how we can improve it? I ran into a dead-end due to lack of UI skills, so design solidarity is very welcome 🙏

re: the overlap between abra app ls / abra app ps.

the difficulty with app ls is that it's trying to show what app ps shows but for every single app you have. it's a lot of information. i'm still stuck with the UI/UX design

alakazam uses a lot of abra ps calls to get an overall view, what is deployed and what not. Maybe it could be replaced with abra ls -S --machine but with an extra flag like --app which can be specified multiple times for each app domain? What do you think about this approach?
